Vaccine Risk For Autoimmune Disease
Narcolepsy is a neurological sleep disorder. It can make people fall asleep instantly and involuntarily during the day, while they are in the middle of an activity.
New research has shown that narcolepsy is an autoimmune disease. People with narcolepsy produce antibodies that destroy the cells in the brain that produce orexin. Orexin is a neurotransmitter that regulates wakefulness and appetite.
In August 2010, neurologists from Sweden and Finland reported an increase in narcolepsy in children who received the swine flu vaccine. These children had a 13 fold greater incidence of narcolepsy.
Symptoms of narcolepsy appeared within days to 6 months of receiving the vaccination. The average time frame was 2.5 months. All of the children who developed narcolepsy had a particular gene variant called HLD DQB1*0602.
Vaccinations are known to trigger autoimmune disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Not everyone who is exposed to the vaccine will develop health problems afterwards. Usually a combination of genetic and environmental factors are at play. For detailed information about my recommendations for autoimmune disease, see the book Healing Autoimmune Disease: A plan to help your immune system and reduce inflammation.

If it’s faulty or wrongly described, we’ll replace it.
I have slept for days on end only to wake up feeling refreshed only for a short time period. I could go on and on.
Klein Levin Syndrome has symptoms other than increased sleepiness and it is does not seem to be inline with your concerns because it tends to be more episodic than yours.
We recommend you follow the directions in Dr Cabot’s ground-breaking book ‘Healing Autoimmune Disease – A plan to help your immune system and reduce inflammation’ and follow the protocol it includes.
Part of the protocol is a dietary regimen, and we are delighted to let you know that Dr Cabot has recently released her 15 Day Cleanse - Two weeks to begin your journey toward improved overall health and function, utilising both supplements and a tasty, easy to prepare dietary regimen.

This is an anti-inflammatory program and the supplements are immune boosting, body alkalinising and gut healing, which can be undertaken while reading the book to understand autoimmune diseases and offer you alternative strategies.
After completing the Cleanse, we recommend you remain on this style of eating and you can then begin the Maintenance plan that is available at the same website.

The flu can be a very serious and potentially fatal illness, especially in people with compromised lung or immune function. In most people the risks of vaccination are low. It’s best to discuss with your own doctor, who is aware of your overall health.
